per craigs request

So tonight Craig 'demanded' that I update my blog at least once a week with the happenings of my life. Let me give you a little flavor of this week. I don't really want to study for my VERY LAST FINAL OF MY UNDERGRAD CAREER that I will be taking in the morning... I mean C's get Degree's right? So anyways back to the list of things to do:

Spend 24,000 hours with my boyfriend Jacob Spori, I sure am going to miss him when I'm gone
Cry.
Sleep very little
Pack
Laundry
Cry some more.
Say goodbye to my favorite professors, places, roommates, apartments. ect.
Make books
Parents come!
Go to the temple
Horkley's
Sleep over with my favorite people :)
Help craig apply for an internship in Indiana
Probably cry a little more – both happy and sad tears.

Favorite part of this week: Getting ready and then actually walking across the stage in the Hart Auditorium as they say 'Brooke Elizabeth Rodda' and I get my diploma cover.

I can't believe that my time in Rexburg is finally winding down. I remember thinking as a freshman I'M NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT! Well I've done it. I am actually going to graduate from college. I couldn't image life and especially Rexburg without Stevie, Katie, Mike and Craig. I've been with Stevie since day 1 freshman year in the dorms. I have never lived in Rexburg and
not lived with Stevie. SO enough with the sap before I cry...

Overall top 10 moments of my college experience

10. Random Dates
Nothing says Rexburg quite like coming home to ballon, streamers and secret notes just to be asked on a date for Friday.


9. Playing Dress up
Happened mostly freshman year, but you know you have good roommates when you've had a rough day and they come in your room dressed like this:


8. Pranks
I've experience my fair share of popcorn, eggs, balloons, syrup, water-towers and even so far as a dead squirrel in a pizza box delivered courtesy of Pizza Hut.


7. Idaho Falls Slumber Party
Slumber party at emily munk's house: pizza, pillow fights and paparazzi.


6. Veronica Mars
Oh Veronica. BYU–Idaho would not have been the same without you.


5. Food/Paint/Mud/Water/Jello Fights
College is supposed to be messy right?


4. I'm in Pocatello and I am PISSED
There is no one I would rather be stuck with. Best worst weekend of my life.


3. So were going to Provo
Rachelle and I meet Gleen Beck and then on a whim drove to Provo at 10 p.m. It was fantastic.


2. NYC Expeditions
Not only did I get to go to NYC once for $300 but twice. God Bless BYU–Idaho


1. The Rexburg Temple
Living so close to the Temple has changed my life forever

Rexburg,

Thanks for the memories.

Love,
Brooke
